What was the brand / model of the tablet? And did the malware do anything else than force setting your homepage?

I still have one at the shop in a box. I will look when I go there.

Curious because I do use a lot of devices from Chinese makers myself and had no issues so far. If it's from a legit brand, I'd need to take a closer look at their products before buying more.

Here are some pics of the box. Somehow I have the box but cannot find the tablet...but it doesn't exactly surprise me.

There literally are no markings or any other type of brand/vendor on the box other than what you see.

lol doesn't look legit. not surprising it malware built in
